I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

4.0

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

---

This memoir is brutal and utterly unputdownable. Jennette's rollercoaster of an upbringing is a tragic result of a narcissistic parent. This story follows the chaos of child acting, tackling eating disorders and trying not to step on anyone's toes in the years when she should have been finding herself. Her voice is pained and bitter at the betrayals she has experienced, but this is also a story of Jennette learning to find peace with herself and her past.
